FAQs

Our aim is to supply you with a bin size that suits your needs. Our bins range in size from 2m3 to 12m3. Some bins from 3m3 and above have a door/tailgate for easier loading. Please see bin sizes to see dimensions.

When you call, one of our staff members will ask you what size bin you require, what type of material is going into it and how long you require it. With this information, you will be quoted a competitive price. Included in this price is delivery, pick up, GST and all associated tip fees.

You will notice that our bins are labelled around the top. Do not fill above the rim. For safety and legal reasons, skip bins should not be filled any higher than the rim and should be loaded carefully in order to avoid any spillage during transit. If a driver arrives to collect your bin and it has been overfilled, we reserve the right to remove some of the contents and/or charge an extra amount for the excess.

The maximum loads for our skip bins are one tonne per cubic metre. This is the safe lifting limit. Max skip size of 6m3 for skips being filled with solid fill (i.e. dirt, bricks, concrete, pavers etc.) Skips greater than 6m3 are not permitted to be filled with any solid fill.

Where possible, the driver will try to take the skip, once the overloaded item is removed from the top of the bin, the overloaded item(s) where possible will be left in a neat pile near the site of the bin.

If the skip bin is placed on your property, you do not need permission or a permit. However, if the bin is to be placed on public lands, nature strips or driveway laybacks a permit may be required. Different councils have different regulations.

We will contact you and advise you that we are unable to remove the skip due to the overloading. We will then arrange for you to receive another skip from us to transfer the material into. This skip will be charged at the stated rate.

Should you wish to book a bin, please give us 1-2 days’ notice so that we can supply the bin size you require. However, during busy periods such as weekends, long weekends and holiday periods we recommend you book your bin earlier. Please check with us if you need same-day delivery. We would hate to disappoint you!

Should you wish to put the skip on the road, it is necessary for the property owner to make application to Queensland Police.

There is no exact way of telling if you have asbestos, but as a general rule houses pre 1980 are likely to contain some in the Fibro cement sheeting found in the bathroom and eaves of the house. For further information, please call us on 1300 55 65 65.

The following items are not allowed in our skip bins:

• Hazardous waste, including tyres, liquid paints, poisons, chemicals, toxic waste, gas bottles, batteries and oils
• Food waste
• Asbestos (note that asbestos can only be removed by licensed transporters)

We will ask your requirements on arrival and place the bin in an appropriate spot for your ease of access that causes less impact on property; driveways etc., and for our ease of removal once filled. Under NO circumstances is a bin to be moved due to OH&S reasons.

Please note that our trucks weigh between six and nine tonnes before they are loaded. Unfortunately, driving on grass can cause some damage, particularly when it is wet. Please be assured we will make every effort to ensure we don’t cause any harm. Should you have any concerns or special requirements, please ask the driver at the time of delivery.

Super Skips does not take any responsibility to driveway damages when placement is requested by customers. As a rule, we do not place skips on driveways without suitable protection supplied by the customer.
